    Air Accident!

    My ex-wife started taking flying lessons about the time our divorce started and she got her license shortly before our divorce was final, later that same year.


    Yesterday afternoon I got a phone call, that she narrowly escaped injury in the aircraft she was piloting. Seems she was forced to make an emergency landing in Hamilton because of bad weather. Thank God the kids weren't with her.


    The FAA issued a preliminary report, citing pilot error: She was flying a single engine aircraft in IFR (instrument flight rating) conditions while only having obtained a VFR (visual flight rating) rating.


    The absence of a post-crash fire was likely due to insufficient fuel on board. No one on the ground was injured.


    The photograph below was taken at the scene to show the extent of damage to her aircraft.


    She was really lucky.

    spit take!
    Now I have to clean my keyboard.
    Expect banging, belching and an occasional manly fart as you roar down the runway at full power. (I have found that the engine can make similar noises)

    A good landing is when you can walk away so I assume that TOB is still flying!

    You son of a...!


    YOU OWE ME A NEW KEYBOARD!

    Nice joke.
    Take my love, take my land / Take me where I cannot stand, I don't care, I'm still free / You can't take the sky from me.

    Take me out to the black / Tell 'em I ain't comin' back.

    Burn the land and boil the sea / You can't take the sky from me...
